Cardassian Vole

Universe :	Prime Timeline
Species Name :	Cardassian Vole [1]
Quadrant :	Alpha

An animal life form native to Cardassia, the Cardassian Vole is about 25 cm in length, has six limbs and a partial covering of hair. The Voles are a notorious pest aboard Cardassian space stations, damaging as they are attracted to energy fields. [1] Quark considered staging Vole fights in his bar for Cardassian patrons, though this was illegal. [2] Despite this he and Morn attempted to hold Vole fighting contests on the station, though they were caught before any actual fighting could occur. [3] In 2372 Quark made a deal on Vole bellies which netted him a 15% profit margin. [4] Quark's bar suffered occasional Vole infestations, much to his annoyance. [5] Voles are known for "leaping on one another" with great haste and little preparation when mating. [6] The phrase "sick as a vole" was occasionally heard aboard Deep Space Nine. [7] Hungry voles are known for having no loyalty. [8]
